losowanie z tablicy string vs const char *

pytanie zadane 5 listopada 2017 w C i C++ przez paweljumper Obywatel (1,260 p.)

Witam mam pytanie, a mianowicie czemu w kodzie poniżej tablica słów string działa a const char * po paru wylosowaniach zawiesza program? Chodzi oczywiście o tablicę words z 7 linijki.

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <time.h>

const int LIM = 26;
using std::string;
const char * words[LIM] = {"agrest", "bigos", "czara",
    "drewno", "ekipa", "figura", "gorycz", "hiena", "iskra",
    "junior", "krata", "lizak", "miska", "nurek", "obuwie",
    "pisak", "rozum", "smalec", "taryfa", "umiar", "video",
    "welon", "yeti", "zalew", "zimno", "zapas"};

int main()
{
    using std::cout;
    using std::cin;
    using std::endl;
    srand(time(NULL));
    cout << "Zagraj w wisielca!" << endl;
    char play;
    cout << "Chcesz zagrac? ";
    cin >> play;
    play = tolower(play);
    string target;
    int guesses = 6;
    while (play == 't')
    {
        guesses = 6;
        target = words[rand() % LIM];
        cout << target << endl;
        cout << "Jeszcze raz?";
        cin >> play;
        play = tolower(play);
    }
    return 0;
}
